My experience has been that in image packages are quite hard to work 
with...
at least how we did it till 3.8beta: installing by loading via SMLoader 
from SM
with a tiny changeset.
This tend to blow up the changeset file a  lot, smloader is not 
deleting stufff...
now with using the diff that MC generates this is a lot better (I used 
that for SUnit).
But it does not update the version information... so this is bad, too.

Another problem is that nobody knows which classes belong to which 
package.
So if I edit lots of methods (e.g. for m17n), then there will be cases 
were
edits to those packages slip into the stream.

Short: The packe system sucks in Squeak. But we all now that.

There have been changes all over the place for m17, then this trivial 
fix
for SM was there on BFAV for just 4 Months and was feeling lonly, so I 
just
added it. Sorry.
